Bingo - An Indispensable Part of the Lakewood Community

$

JCN- Lakewood collectively remembers BINGO’s famous children’s shoe sale last year. Thousands waited in line for the opportunity to purchase beautiful, top quality shoes, at the bargain price of $40 a pair. For many, this may have been the first time they’d seen a specially designed item for the frum market, of the quality our community is accustomed to, offered at below market value. At BINGO, this type of sale is an everyday occurrence.

BINGO entered the American supermarket scene with the motto “No Shticks, No Tricks,” and they’ve remained true to their word. After their resounding success in servicing the Brooklyn community, BINGO turned their attention to Lakewood. Their goal here is to ensure that Lakewood, Toms River, Jackson and Howell residents have access to rock bottom pricing in all their consumer needs, in an environment, they are comfortable with.





Hiring grocery icon, R’ Mordechai Sender, to join the management team of the Lakewood store, is just one way this superstore has invested in the Lakewood community. R’ Sender brings his enthusiasm and love for the community, as well as his appreciation for buying and getting the best deal on every item. As a veteran to the food industry, R’ Sender can attest to the truly astounding pricing and quality Bingo has brought to the town.


BINGO is committed to the customer shopping experience. They work hard to ensure that the store’s 36 aisles are spacious, immaculate, and orderly. R’ Sender asserts that “you’ll never find an item out of stock, and you’ll never be encumbered by workers stocking the shelves.

The shelves are always stocked, -sometimes 15 rows wide! - with any given item.” Friday morning, when most groceries suffer from the aftereffects of Thursday night Shabbos shopping, BINGO has its familiar serene look. All items are in place, the floors are shining, and the staff is prepared and ready for another day of savings.


Bingo’s corporate team consists of a group of top bargain hunters. They thrill at being able to assert that the standard price for every item in the store is the cheapest you’ll find, without compromising an iota on quality.


They also strive to bring traditional items into the store at never-seen-before prices. Some famous items have been sukkah boards for $19.99, Materna formula for $25, and men’s dress shirts for $20. You’ll find a scooter for $29.99 and a bucket of Mitzvah Kinder for $49.99, in addition to a lot of other sensational items! Seasonal items include: durable lawn chairs, food coolers and outdoor furniture, all for unbelievable prices. “I still can’t figure out how the meat department offers such high-quality cuts of meat for the pricing you’ll find here,” says R’ Sender. “This place is fun! You never know what you’ll find here. I have a hard time spending my day here because I want to buy everything I see for my family!”


With a store the size of Costco, many have questioned whether BINGO is intended for weekly shopping. In response, R’ Sender describes the many steps BINGO has taken to ensure a pleasurable, easy and efficient shopping experience for the Lakewood consumer.


Upon entering the store, visitors can pick up a “scanner”, and as they shop, simply scan the items before putting them into their wagon. When finished shopping, the customer heads to the checkout, hands over the scanner, pays with their credit card, and walks out of the store! Because of the specialized parking setup outside the store, shoppers are never parked far from the door.

The store also boasts a significant number of prepared foods, such as marinated chickens and meats, cut up fruit platters, beautiful fish choices, and plenty of baked goods. The best part of shopping in BINGO is that the store never feels full. Because of the size of the store, two acquaintances can be shopping at the same time and will never know the other is there!

Philanthropic U.S. owner Ari Weiss, along with Israel’s Osher Ad, have indeed found common ground with R’ Sender. Combining their skills with his 25 years in the food industry, BINGO has already become an integral part of the Lakewood community.

They constantly look for ways to serve and meet the needs of the community, by offering 24-hour shopping before yom tov and offering sales and consistent low pricing without any gimmicks (such as sale hours at off-hours of the day or a requiring a minimum amount of non-sale items spent).

If you haven’t yet, stop in for toy Clics, a pizza maker, some chicken and meat, produce, dairy and paper towels, because BINGO wants Lakewood to shop with confidence.

Jewish History Soundbites With Yehuda Geberer Great American Jewish Cities #10: Philadelphia


Perhaps no other city in the United States can boast of such a long, rich and consistent Jewish history narrative as the City of Brotherly Love. Historic synagogues like Mikveh Israel - which at one point received funding from Benjamin Franklin, and Rodeph Shalom which was the first Ashkenazi shul in the Western Hemisphere are symbols of the colonial era Jewish community.
The 19th century saw Isaac Leeser, Sabato Morias, Marcus Jastrow and others make their mark on the development of Philadelphia Jewish life and their influence on the wider American Jewish community. The interwar period brought Chassidic Rebbes, great philanthropists and even the Lubavitcher Rebbe - who visited the Liberty Bell - to Philadelphia.
Led by a succession of great rabbinical leaders like Rabbis Bernard Levinthal, Ephraim Eliezer Yolles, Baruch Leizerowski, Sholom Shneiderman, Moshe Lifshitz and many others including the contemporary Rabbi Avraham Shemtov. The Philadelphia Yeshiva was founded by Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky and together with Rav Elya Svei, Rav Mendel Kaplan and other greats have made it one of the premier Torah institutions in the United States.

Philadelphia personalities as diverse as Benjamin Guggenheim, Uriah Phillips Levy and Binyamin Netanyahu make their appearance as well in this city rich with Jewish history.

Document shows Role of Another Japan Envoy in Helping Jews flee Nazis

The Mainichi -Japans national Daily

LAKEWOOD, New Jersey (Kyodo) -- A photocopy of a transit visa issued by the then Japanese envoy to the Soviet Union to help a Jewish refugee flee from Nazi Germany during World War II has been preserved in the hands of her relatives, the family said. While it is already known that Ambassador Yoshitsugu Tatekawa issued travel documents for Jewish refugees, it is very rare to confirm that he also issued visas for them.
The visa was issued for 17-year-old Rischel Kotler on March 8, 1941 at the Japanese Embassy in Moscow.

Since the Japanese Foreign Ministry had banned visa issuance in the Soviet Union a day earlier, Tatekawa, who was thought to be sympathetic toward Jewish refugees, is likely to have decided to grant the visa on humanitarian grounds.

Given the ministry's ban, Kotler's visa is also highly likely to have been the last Tatekawa issued to Jewish refugees.

According to Kotler's relatives citing her account and relevant documents, she visited the Japanese embassy on the night of March 8, when many other Jewish refugees were gathered outside. Although the other refugees were not permitted entry, a security guard let her in when she said in English that she had an appointment.

In the embassy building, Kotler met with a man wearing what she described as "silky kimono-like clothes." After she told him that she wished travel to Japan, the man pondered for a considerable time and then signed and issued a visa.

Travelling through several locations such as Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture and the Chinese city of Shanghai, Kotler visited the United States in 1947 and later settled in the country.

Aaron Kotler, the youngest son of Kotler, told Kyodo News that the security guard probably allowed her to enter the Japanese embassy thinking she was not a refugee.

"She talked about the story hundreds of times," the 56-year-old man said, adding, "She was always very grateful to Tatekawa."

"Without the visa she had no chance of leaving the Soviet Union. Both of her parents were killed by Nazis. At that time no country allowed Jews, including the United States," he said.

Another wartime Japanese diplomat, Chiune Sugihara, is better known for helping Jewish people flee Nazi-occupied Europe and the Holocaust, being credited with issuing thousands of travel documents while serving as acting consul to Lithuania.

Saburo Nei, then acting consul-general in Vladivostok in the then Soviet Union, was also recently found to have signed transit visas issued by Sugihara.

The report on Nei's involvement prompted Aaron Kotler to contact Japanese freelance writer Akira Kitade, who has written a book on Japanese officials who supported Sugihara in his efforts to help Jewish refugees flee from Nazi persecution.

Kitade helped shed light on the role Tatekawa played in helping Jewish refugees.

Along with her husband and her father-in-law, Kotler helped to establish a yeshiva for orthodox Jews in Lakewood, New Jersey. Kotler died in 2015 at age of 92.

"Sugihara and Nei are now famous. But Tatekawa should be honored too. He is the third great rescuer of Jews during the Holocaust," Kotler's son said.

"The story of Sugihara has been told. The story of Nei is now being told. The story of Tatekawa should be told too. I think it is very important to recognize the people, particularly the government officials who make good moral choices in a tough time."

Aaron Kotler is now president of the Beth Medrash Govoha, a yeshiva in Lakewood. The town has thrived as a college town and, as a hub of Orthodox Judaism, has one of the highest percentages of Jewish residents among U.S. municipalities.

Tatekawa was the saver of his mother's life and should be credited for his deed along with Sugiura and Nei, Aaron Kotler said, adding, "No visa, no town." (Mainichi)
